Bucktooth Tetra question

What would you guys consider to be the minimum tank size for a decent group of them?

Thanks

Depending upon what you consider a decent sized group of them, I would say for 6, a 40 breeder and if more, say like 10-12, I'd go with at least a 55 gallon. I have never kept them myself, but did get them in occasionally at a LFS i have worked at in the past. They are not too big, but are very active, so need some swimming room. I would keep as large a group as you can, because it will help keep down any fighting amongst the group and any cannibalistic behaviors.

They have a nasty habit of attacking weaker fish and biting there eyes out so the bigger the tank the better the larger the group the more aggression will be spread out
